Past Imperfect Future
Tense
Botanical Art
from The Botanical Artists Association of South
Africa.
The KZNSA
Gallery has curated a large exhibition of botanical watercolours, drawings and
prints that represent some of the finest work produced in the country. Young
guest artist Sibonelo Chiliza will present his first major public showing.
Sibonelo was awarded bronze medals in the 2004 and 2006 Kirstenbosch Biennales
and a silver medal in 2010. The exhibition will feature an installation of
botanical San rock art, an educational programme for learners and demonstrations
by Sibonelo. This exhibition forms part of
the Gallerys Social Art Intervention Programme. It places these botanical
works within the broader context of cultural heritage and society, and the
environment.

MEZZANINE GALLERY
Drowning in Colour by Yvette
Dunn
Acrylics on canvas, a Public Art
Performance and Videography
Installation.
Dunn uses her
life and heritage as inspiration. She uses her body as the canvas and a point of
departure into the creation of her work - be it a painting or recording herself
as her alter ego Shero. Dunn will swim in a pool of five colours
of paint and then wipe the residue on canvas, which will be hung up for sale.
Polaroids will be taken for the audience to purchase of themselves photographed
with the performer.
